The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

To those that still cannot fathom and comprehend that there are two new AFL sides in the SANFL competition i have linked a little snippet from last year regarding the death of the Magpies.

I hope some of you in cyber land who have their heads buried in the sand are able to read digest and comprehend this factual information and somehow realise the we now UNFORTUNATELY have a POWER RESERVES team and also a Crows RESERVES team in the SANFL.

Good article but unfortunately slightly out of context as the current Port Reserves setup wasn't announced at that point.

[Apachebulldog]

Yes but gist of the story is the real Magpies are gone dead deceased passed away kaput really do not exist nada and their is new kid in town yah man

[Tech1]

Is there any port people on here that can look at this objectively? Surely having 18 or so guys to pick from an afl list is a good enough advantage in itself? You don't need to have the other top up players being high quality SANFL players. If you take away those guys you have you're still in the top 3 imho.

Notice no port people have answered this yet

I think I can sum it up this way
From the people I've talked to about Port Reserves being 1870-2013 or 1870-2014+

NON PORT BARRACKERS
About 95% say Port Reserves is a new team in the SANFL

PORT BARRACKERS
About 50% say Port 2014 are still Port Adelaide 1870+

I say its a new team
All past records from 1870-2013 should be put in the archives


Just one more observation
Crows barrackers accept that the Crows reserves is the Crows reserve team in the SANFL
Why don't Port barrackers ?

Well what else could they be ?

The Power isn't just a idea concocted in Max Basheer's pool room. They are a push from the most successful SA football club to expand into the highest comp in the land (crows fans can thank them for that) to say they should abort their history is garbage. Magpies, Power, Wharfies, Scumbags or whatever the nickname they are all products of the PAFC and it's history. Call it Power reserves if you want, it's still the PAFC.

Just like the the Crows reserves are still the AFC.

Just for the Port Magpie believers like kickinit, please give your opinion on this. When all the other clubs finish 2014 and the hunt for new recruits is on, will the Port Magpies be doing same? No, they do't need to, they will already have their list assembled for them every year, bar a few. This to me makes it quite clear they are different from the rest, and are not the old Magpies. Will they even have EP as a zone next year?

Maggies are gone

We could lose all of our top players and our academy side as well. It could see Port on the hunt for more players then other SANFL clubs.

No, you will just be like the Crows are this year, maybe next year it will become clearer for you.

First time I've bothered to wade into the debate, I can now feel everyone's pain with you...

No, our recruiting ban ends this year.
We were allowed to recruit 2 this year to cover the two we lost to the Crows just as every other club was. We were still banned from recruiting others

So your saying that all of our 15 top up players and all of the players in our academy team will be playing in 2015?

Aldinga are getting more media exposure than the SANFL at the moment ... FFS.

Wankers.

Last 2 clubs to get this much exposure were Callington and Port Elliott, both no longer exist

I was going to make almost that exact point - except I was going to say Port Elliot and Morgan.
Those two teams played an 'exhibition game' so everyone could laugh at how shit they were, neither club exists any more (although the Bloods do in name - with Goolwa).

[Dutchy]

I believe Darcey Bailey played for the Crows Reserves in Round 2 of the SANFL, then last Friday he lined up for Glenelg's League team.

As if the comp wasn't compromised enough, we now have players playing for different clubs in the same comp from week to week! FFS
